Born to Rewild

oh come on, eco.  don't be so dismissive.  I think the guy is for real, but recognizes that any attempt to criticize civilization, while simultaneously being a  beneficiary of it (as are all of us here in the western world), will carry with it a few contradictions.  he has fun with it.  I think it goes a little deeper than hipster irony.  hell, I would hasten to say that most of us here have our own beef with western civ, but perhaps a lot of us are a bit too humorless or pure to admit our contradictions.I'm glad that somebody is trying hard to make primitivism accessable and hip.  For too long these ideas have been confined to 'hippie' and 'crusty' ghettos.  Somebody has to clue the hipsters in.  Even if it means brewing PBR clones from foraged wild hops and grains, and giving your friends asymmetrical haircuts from sharpened rocks.Rock on, Scout.

I was peripherally involved in the late '90's anarchist scene here in the midwest, and grew really fucking tired of the all-pervasive self righetous, self aggrandizing attitudes that characterize so many 'anarchists'.  it was, to say the least, pretty disheartening.I read your blog, 'anarchy vs. rewilding', and it was a trip down memory lane, but not in a good way.  the jensen and zerzan pieces were especially relevatory.  it sucks that you are getting so much shit for the stufff that you are doing, but I hope that the postive feedback balances it out.  those who are quickest to toss around accusations of 'douchebaggery' are perhaps the biggest douchebags."Fuck'em all!"           -Dillenger 4
